SUMMARY:Carsie Blanton
DESCRIPTION:Carsie Blanton is a songwriter with hooks\, chutzpah\, and revolutionary optimism. Inspired by artist-activists including Nina Simone and Woody Guthrie\, her catalog careens through American popular song from folk and swing to pop-punk protest anthems.\nWith her unique mix of humor\, soul\, and political wit\, and fifteen-plus years on the road\, the Philly by-way-of New Orleans songwriter has amassed a dedicated fan base and a small menagerie of viral hits (“Rich People\,” “Shit List\,” Fishin’ With You).”\nA dynamic performer\, her live shows seek to delight and galvanize\, whether solo or with her Handsome Band. She isn’t afraid to explore the political and the burlesque\, but never fails to bring her audience together in love\, rage\, hope\, and camaraderie. Carsie’s newest album\, Body of Work (April\, 2023)\, is an intimately-recorded collection of songs from throughout her catalog\, delicately captured by Grammy-winning producer Tyler Chester (Madison Cunningham\, Andrew Bird). Her forthcoming album After the Revolution\, also produced by Tyler Chester\, is slated for release in March of 2024.

SUMMARY:Adam Ezra Group
DESCRIPTION:Adam Ezra\, vocals\, guitar | Corinna Smith\, fiddle | Alex Martin\, drums | Poche Ponce\, bass \nThe Boston-based roots rock veterans\, whose energetic\, passionate live shows have forced comparisons to juggernauts like the Dave Matthews Band and O.A.R.\, returns to Rockport! Working outside the confines of the traditional music industry\, Adam Ezra and his – built a community of fans through sheer grit and determination\, regularly performing hundreds of shows a year for the past two decades without any major label or mainstream radio support. \nFusing folk intimacy and rock energy with soul power and pop charm\, the band first emerged from Boston in the early 2000s and quickly garnered widespread acclaim for their bold\, insightful songwriting and interactive\, euphoric performances. It’s difficult to impart the roots-steeped\, road-trippin’ essence of the Adam Ezra Group into a single word\, but frontman Adam Ezra nonetheless keeps one in mind as something of a mantra: community. Community is epitomized by a belief that has long doubled as a mission statement for the group: namely\, that making music together is itself a form of grassroots organizing\, capable of nothing less than changing the world. \nTalk to any Adam Ezra Group fan around the country and they’ll tell you that each AEG performance is a one-of-a-kind\, community-driven experience\, propelled by the spirit of the people in front of the stage. For both fans and band members alike\, an AEG concert is a rally to live life with intensity and soak in the moments we share with one another.

SUMMARY:Hidden Child of the Holocaust – An Historic Evening with Survivor Janet Applefield on Cape Ann
DESCRIPTION:On April 7th\, the Chabad Jewish Center of Cape Ann will have the honor to host Mrs. Janet Applefield as she shares her story of survival\, hope\, and resilience at the Shalin Liu Performance Center in Rockport\, MA. The lecture will be accompanied by a musical performance featuring the New England Klezmer\, which includes Yaeko Miranda\, Jim Prendergast & Sonny Barbato. \nJanet feels it is her mission to spread messages of how to live one’s life\, overcoming hatred with resilience\, grace\, dignity\, love and forgiveness by sharing her personal story of survival. Janet feels strongly about letting people know the horrors she went through so that future generations will make sure it will never happen again. We will unite to send a clear message against hate and intolerance. \n“To create a better future\, it is important to be aware of our past. Rabbi Avremi Raichik\, co-director of Chabad of Cape Ann\, revealed that 66% of American millennials either do not know or cannot remember what “Auschwitz” is. He further added that within the tragic stories of the Holocaust\, there are profound\, uplifting messages of hope and the strength of the human spirit. The event aims to help participants gain a deeper understanding of the disastrous effects of prejudice\, racism\, and hatred and how we can work together to prevent such things from happening in the future.” \nFor more details and to purchase tickets\, please visit www.capeannsurvivor.com \nPartnership and corporate sponsorship opportunities are available for this event. Reach out to Rabbi Avremi Raichik at Rabbi@Chabadcapeann.com for more details. \nAbout Janet \nBorn Gustawa Singer in 1935 in Nowy Targ\, Poland\, Janet and her family enjoyed a comfortable and stable life until the Nazi invasion in 1939. A clinical social worker\, Janet will recount how at just seven years old\, she witnessed her mother being transported to the death camp at Belzec and her father being assigned to forced labor. Janet witnessed unimaginable danger and the love\, courage\, and dedication of a few extraordinarily righteous citizens who saved her life. \nWhen Janet first arrived in the U.S. in 1947\, her father asked her to write everything she could remember since they were separated in August of 1942. During his life\, they never spoke about their collective torture. There is a lot of guilt in survivors whose stories didn’t include concentration camps\, so Janet considered herself someone not worthy of discussing. Her notes from her arrival were rediscovered by her family in 1984 and became a blueprint for self-discovery. Her written account\, originally in Polish\, is now recognized as “righteous among nations” at Yad Vashem in Israel and Janet can share her trauma and the traumas experienced by her family through this memoir\, interviews\, and speaking engagements. \nJanet speaks openly about her experiences as a child survivor of the Holocaust with thousands of people each year through regular speaking engagements with libraries\, schools\, houses of worship\, and government agencies. Her talks raise awareness and understanding of the dangers of prejudice and encourage audiences to stand up to any kind of discrimination and injustice. In 2021\, she was invited to tell her story before the Massachusetts State Legislature\, on the occasion of the passage of Bill H.692\, an act mandating statewide genocide education in all secondary schools. \nJanet documented her story in her forthcoming memoir\, Becoming Janet: Finding Myself in the Holocaust. You can read more about Janet on her website.
